  Aaron Woodin

  “Don’t Fall for It! Recognizing and Avoiding Scams”

  There are a variety of ways to get scammed, and the conduits are everyday, familiar objects which we all use- the computer, and the phone. In this informative presentation, which will reflect the latest trends, computer consultant Aaron Woodin will discuss some of the most common "con games" by which people are fleeced so they can be detected and avoided.

  Born and educated in White Plains, Woodin studied journalism, but found computers far more interesting. He spent roughly seven years in corporate IT, before going fully on his own in the Summer of 2002, founding his own consulting and computer repair company, PCVentures LLC, which is located in White Plains.

  Our next speaker, on July 9, will be author Mark Clifford on “The Troublemaker, How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong’s Greatest Dissident, and China’s Most Feared Critic.”

  The Greenwich Retired Men’s Association offers a free program every Wednesday that is open to the public, both men and women; no reservations are required. Our social break starts at 10:40 am followed promptly by our presentation at 11:00 am. For additonal information see https://greenwichrma.org.

  Mark Clifford

  “The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong’s Greatest Dissident, and China’s Most Feared Critic”

  Jimmy Lai escaped mainland China when he was twelve years old, at the height of a famine that killed tens of millions. In Hong Kong, he hustled and by his mid-twenties owned a factory that was supplying sweaters and shirts to some of the biggest brands in America. He was planning to create new businesses, but then came Tiananmen Square democracy protest and the massacre of 1989.

  His reaction to the violence was to start a newspaper to advocate for democracy in Hong Kong. Its mix of bold graphics, gossip, local news, and opposition to the Chinese Communist Party was an immediate hit. He also took his activism abroad, traveling frequently to Washington. China reacted with fury in 2019 when he met with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. A draconian new security law came into effect in Hong Kong in mid-2020, effectively making human rights advocacy and free speech a crime. Lai was arrested and convicted on trumped-up charges that could see him jailed for life, alleging “collusion with foreign forces” and printing seditious materials. China’s most famous political prisoner has been held in solitary confinement since 2020, while his supporters and family fight to have him freed. This is his story.

  Mark L. Clifford is president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, an NGO dedicated to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law for the people of Hong Kong. Previously, he was executive director of the Hong Kong–based Asia Business Council, and a board director at Next Digital, the Hong Kong media giant founded and majority-owned by Lai. During his 28 years in Hong Kong, he served as editor-in-chief of both English-language newspapers, the South China Morning Post and The Standard, of which he was also publisher. He holds a PhD in Hong Kong history from the University of Hong Kong. Clifford has won numerous journalism, academic, and book awards, and is the author of The Troublemaker as well as Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World: What China’s Crackdown Reveals About Its Plans to End Freedom Everywhere.

  Our next speaker, on July 16, will be Ofer Wellisch, MD, Pain management physician, Stamford Hospital, “Science-Based Pain Management Approaches”
